Notes

Cordless lawn mowers reduce maintenance versus gas but depend heavily on battery health and drive components. Repair is usually justified when the mower is not near end-of-life and the issue is a wearable part (blade, belt/drive parts, switches) or a single battery replacement.

Replace when the deck is damaged, multiple electrical issues stack up, or the cost approaches the threshold-especially if battery and drive system both need work.
